I was so excited to try the Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer. Garnier is one of my favorite brands and I have to say this moisturizer does not disappoint! I dont like a moisturizer that is to thin or so thick if feels heavy. This was just the right texture. It felt great on the skin and smells amazing! You also didnt have to apply a whole lot which is also great! While I never really noticed a difference in my skin right away, after a few days I could tell my skin looked a bit brighter and seemed to even out. Its also works well under my concealer and foundation. Which is an added bonus. I hate when yr skin looks so oily and the foundation will not apply well because of a oily moisturizer. I would definitely recommend this product and even tho I do find its a little on the pricey side, I will definitely be purchasing it!

I little can go a long way with this cream. I have combination skin so worried about putting cream on face but this got absorbed well and made my skin look fresh.

Enjoying using this moisturizer from Garnier! I haven't been using it all over my face, just sticking to the areas that have been having extra dry issues this winter and it is definitely curing those areas. Haven't noticed the brightening aspect of it though. I have acne prone skin and it has not clogged my pores so that is definitely a bonus! It does have a bit of a smell but it isn't overpowering, I quite like it actually. The pump is a good feature. The price threw me off at first but once I started using it I realized a little goes a long way so the bottle will last a long time. However, mostly because of the price, I am still undecided whether or not I will buy it once it runs out.

I use this product every morning before applying make up. It's smooth, light and does not leave your skin feeling oily. After 2 weeks I have noticed my skin is more even and bright!

Very impressed with this product! I have tried many, many different skin cares products since I was a teenager. I stick with a few tried and true products that really work for me and I think this will become one of them! After only a few days of use I could actually see more brightness in my skin and a more even tone. Love the sun protection factor as well, as I am very fair skinned. Love it!

I really like the silkiness of the moisturizer! It takes very little to do the job, did not have any overpowering scents and was not at all irritating. It left my face feeling supple and seemed to improve the appearance of fine lines as well. I did not find it made my skin look any brighter but I am hopeful with continued use I will see those results.

I will be buying my own bottle and have my oldest daughter using it as well.

I really like this moisturizer. The smell is very pleasant, a little goes a long way, and it spreads and blends in easily. After the first week, I felt comfortable enough to run errands on the weekend without putting on foundation. My skin looked fresh and well hydrated (and I hadn't been keeping up with my water quota). Dark spots and texture differences were less noticeable. I will use this product again for sure

I was impressed with the softness and moisturizing ability of the cream, and the spf addition was a really nice insurance policy for my face. I am prone to having sensitive skin and getting little reactions here and there when trying a new product, unfortunately I did get a bit of a break out, and had to stop using it... I am planning on trying again soon as I loved the product it self and wanted to make sure that the reaction wasn't from something other then the cream etc.

This moisturizer felt amazing on my face. It was not heavy at all. It was light and smooth and felt kind of silly to the touch. I like that it was not heavily scented, just a hint of scent. Despite the fact it is winter the skin never felt dry so I did not feel the need to reapply during the day. I would most definitely continue using this product.

I've really enjoyed using Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Moisturizer. I like that the product did not feel greasy or oily as the product claims. It has a very pleasant texture and smell, thick without being pasty. I best thing about the Moisturizer is the fact that it contains spf, but is not high enough as other product that I use. Despite that, I have used it nearly every day since received and haven't really noticed any major differences on my skin for me to say yes my skin is truly better and brighter as I saw no difference in skin tone. It does absorb rather quickly into my skin, and doesn't leave it feeling like the moisture is just sitting on my face in that greasy kind of way.

What I did not like is that Benzyl Salicylate an ingredient (the tenth listed) known as an allergen used for several different purposes, primarily for fragrance. I did not have an allergic reaction otherwise my rating would have been lower. Also there's limonene and linalool, which can cause contact dermatitis, again, I did not experience this. But I don't see why these ingredients are included in moisturizers and sunscreens, so I'm not sure if I will purchase this product in the future even though it was pleasant to use. My quest to find a product without these harmful ingredient continues as I am not aware of any value fragrance additives have in sunscreens and other face products.

In summary, I liked the product, even though I haven't noticed that much difference in my skins overall appearance in the past couple of weeks of use. I will continue to use it until finished because it is a good, non-greasy moisturizer that is light on my skin and has sunscreen to protect it. I’ll just use it on not so sunny days.
